I’m doing a six hour round trip for a meeting in Cardiff, but it does get me out of an office full of Pompey fans. They’re much more complementary than usual, none of their usual banter before a match. Feels important.Work is gonna be a blur today.
Yeah I saw that comment about Robins too; I guess that depends on what happens over the next 3 months. Wish I could go tonight but can't do it (I live in Hastings) but will be glued to the wireless. I have to admit I am nervous but it makes me feel better to see that the opposition fans are nervous too. It is interesting to read what other fans think, they're a similar sized club to us and have the same ambitions and almost the same position as us.
Eccentric and passionate fan is John Westwood https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/uk-england-hampshire-51129840Can someone shoot that twat with the bell tonight please?
This immediately made me think of Gosford Books. I had no idea about this guy's background, not nice to think of the lengths he's having to go to keeping that shop open.
Hopefully he and his bell will be too busy to attend tonights game with all of the orders he's received.Eccentric and passionate fan is John Westwood https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/uk-england-hampshire-51129840
(Edited to be clear that I wouldn’t shoot the guy)
A lot of their supporters can’t stand Jackett and want him gone even if they go up
He completely lost the plot when we went down to 9 men at their place. I think he brought on defender when they were 3-2 up against 9 men, and then substituted the poor fucker for a striker when we equalised.
Imagine if Robins did that..lol
Can’t blame them he just looks like an absolute c**t of a blokeA lot of their supporters can’t stand Jackett and want him gone even if they go up
I Ordered "For Who the Bell Tolls" still not received it yet!I always find it ironic that someone who makes so much noise at football, is effectively a librarian.

Does anyone remember years ago the old lady who always rang a bell who followed man city
Sounds like some Cov fans who keep hailng Robins a cab.A lot of their supporters can’t stand Jackett and want him gone even if they go up
I think it’s a game impossible to call, both teams can win if on form. My concern is that they come with a physical approach and we get bullied off the ball, we tend not to deal with physical teams
I’m worried. Feels like the biggest game of the season.
Rotherham and shrews both did thiscurious, like who ?
Yes, think her name was Ellen. In the early 90's went to Maine Road to watch us with a Man City supporting mate whose lad played in their youth team. Ellen was giving it plenty with the bell throughout the match right behind the goal. Afterwards we got into the Players Bar and I sat down with a pint catching the end of Final Score. The door opened and in walked this lady with a bell who stood right next to me glaring at me. Someone shouted over that I was sat in her seat so the safest thing was for me to give the seat up pronto.Does anyone remember years ago the old lady who always rang a bell who followed man city
The only truly must win game is the one at the end of the season where you need 3 points to get promoted.But we could lose and still get promoted. We could win and not go up. It is just another game and not a must win.

She was straight in with a 'thanks love' whilst the bar staff brought her pint over. She was treated like royalty at Maine Road. Think she passed away a few years ago.

That's her.Helen Turner.
